PayPal Donation plugin for Contact Form 7

About PayPal Donation plugin for Contact Form 7

Accept PayPal donations through any Contact Form 7 form

Combine the flexibility of a Contact Form 7 form with the power of PayPal and accept donations in 25 different currencies from supporters around the globe. This WordPress plugin turns every Contact Form 7 form on your website into a working donation form, captures the contribution however your campaign needs, and stores a full record of each transaction in your own dashboard - no heavyweight donation platform required.

Because it builds on forms you already design in Contact Form 7, you decide exactly how a donation is captured. All available CF7 fields can be used to set the donation value, including drop-down menus, text boxes, hidden fields and radio buttons, so each form can be tailored to the cause behind it.

Multiple PayPal accounts, one site

Run several causes from a single website by assigning a separate PayPal account to each form, so every contribution lands in the right place. The plugin works across every Contact Form 7 form you publish, giving each campaign its own donation channel.

Dynamic amounts for WooCommerce

On a WooCommerce-based website, the plugin can accept dynamic values from the frontend - item description, amount and quantity - so the donation reflects what the visitor actually selected rather than a fixed figure.

Local records and reporting

Your plugin stores all donations locally in your wp-admin dashboard, including detailed information about each transaction. That gives you a permanent record independent of your PayPal account. You can review or delete any transaction directly from the wp-admin interface, and for reporting purposes sort all donations by specific months for clean, period-based reporting.

To surface a transaction on the frontend, use the [paypal-details] shortcode to display its core data - id, status, amount and currency - wherever you place it.

Control the donor journey

• Edit the Success Return URL and Cancellation URL to point exactly where your workflow needs.
• Return visitors to a thank-you page you create through the WordPress backend.
• Multiple language support for international audiences.

Test before you go live

A debug mode option helps you troubleshoot payment gateway or server issues if needed, and you can configure SandBox (testing) PayPal credentials before switching to your Live ones - so you can validate the full donation flow with confidence.

Requirements

This plugin extends Contact Form 7, so it needs the free Contact Form 7 plugin installed and active. It is available from the WordPress plugin repository and can be installed straight from the wp-admin “Plugins” menu.

It takes only a few minutes to install, activate and have a fully working PayPal donation integration running on your Contact Form 7 forms.
